National conservatives gather in Washington to consolidate movement

National conservatives from around the world gathered at the Westin Hotel in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday for a three-day conference.

The National Conservatism Conference, called NatCon, was started in May 2019 by Israeli American philosopher Yoram Hazony to bring together and advance nationalist conservative thought leaders from around the world. Previous conferences have been held in London, Rome, Orlando, and Brussels. In 2025, the conference returned to Washington, D.C., coinciding with Republican President Donald Trump being in the White House.
